Rainbow Salad

The home gardens, Farmers’ Markets and Grocery Stores are laden with options aplenty for fresh salads and assuredly they’re not always consistently the same items.If you make a habit of growing/selecting a multiplicity of ingredients to keep on hand from the six categories below…you will have a tasty, balanced formula for making interesting salad combinations that you may not have thought of before.

Procure ingredients, wash veggies, fruit and prepare each item to advance to the state desired for salad readiness.Ex: if roasting veggies, slicing/grating cheese.Begin to layer in a visually appealing way starting with base and the next items go from largest to smallest, ending with nuts cheese and other small item toppings.Tip:Pre-moisten Base with dressing in a bowl before plating.
